The church Christmas card board is now available at the back of church. Just write one Christmas card to the whole church family and pin it on the board.
Light a lantern in your window
This year our Advent and Christmas theme is LIGHT, and we are encouraging everyone to put a light, or lantern or candles or a lamp in your window, from 1st December to bring light to Heacham in this season.
At the recent Light party, many people made lanterns and we look forward to seeing these lit in windows around the village.
